Auburn Tool Company

This company succeeded Casey, Clark & Co. with Casey as its president, then became the Ohio Tool Co. in 1893. Other names under which they produced included New York Tool Co., Owasco Tool Co., Genesee Tool Co., Ensenore and Star. Some of their products were produced using Auburn state prison labor. Of particular interest is a ‘Phelps Combination Plane,” a plane with a level vial and rule built in, possibly patented to a Frank Phelps of Auburn on 9 February 1892.
